Technical field:
The present invention relates to a kind of hyperspectral imager and realize wide visual field and high-resolution improvement structure, particularly about a kind of spaceborne/the wide visual field and the high-resolution imaging arrangement of airborne broom pushing type hyperspectral imager.
Background technology:
Imaging spectrometer is in recent years along with the needs of earth observation and improving of photoelectric technology and the remote sensing instrument of new generation that grows up, it organically combines conventional two-dimensional imaging remote sensing technology and spectrometer technology, can obtaining in the object of observation two-dimensional space information, obtain the spectrum picture of target with high spectral resolution.Owing to contain the spectral information relevant in the spectral image data that is obtained with the target being observed component, can disclose atural object spectral characteristic, have situation and material composition, thereby make the Direct Recognition imageable target become possibility, therefore, in observations such as atmosphere, ocean and land, be widely used.
The pull-broom type imaging spectrometer is according to the principle of push broom imaging and grating beam splitting, utilize large-scale focal plane array detector to make, can obtain the space and the spectral information of long narrow atural object band at one time, at this moment, one dimension in the planar array detector is finished aerial image, be referred to as the space dimension, and another dimension is finished light spectrum image-forming, be referred to as the spectrum dimension, finish large-scale scanning imagery again via travelling forward of flying platform.
The pull-broom type imaging spectrometer is made up of imaging mirror, narrow slit, spectrometer (being made up of the collimating mirror, grating and the convergent mirror that connect with light path successively) and planar array detector usually.Figure 1 shows that single pull-broom type ultra-optical spectrum imager (finger) optical head module map by single imaging mirror, spectrometer, the imaging spectrometer that planar array detector is integrated.Because the difficulty that the big planar array detector of the restriction of optical efficiency and frame transfer is made, the current single imaging spectrometer field angle that exists in the world is not more than 40 °, thereby operating efficiency is lower, simultaneously, also can't satisfying society, growing (the high resolving power HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGERY can provide terrain object meticulous geometrical property to the high resolving power HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGERY, can provide abundant spectral information again, to atural object carry out automatically, fast target identification and classification, have great practical value), these have all limited the usable range of hyperspectral imager greatly.The a plurality of freestanding small field of view imaging spectrometer of current common employing is realized the sub-unit of the method for wide view field imaging to each imaging spectrometer in the field stitching mode, particularly the performance index consistance of imaging lens, splicing construction stability and system's dress school requirement are all high, have also strengthened the difficulty of Flame Image Process.Simultaneously, adopt the high-definition picture of the same atural object that different instruments obtain and the fusion of registration and image that spectrum picture carries out image, generate the method for new high resolving power HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGERY, because of there being performance difference between the operating instrument optical head inevitably, the difficulty that not only will cause the Data Fusion aspect, and the error of spatial registration has a significant impact the visual fusion effect between image.

2. spectrometer and the planar array detector that all rearmounted collimating mirror, grating and the convergent mirror that comprises into the light path connection of each narrow slit on the imaging lens focal plane constituted carries out beam split and imaging to the light that enters each narrow slit respectively.
3. the adjacent narrow slit of each narrow slit of placing on the focal plane has the overlapping region of trace between mutually, guarantees that whole imaging spectrometer does not have the appearance of imaging blind area in imaging viewing field.
4. the slit of the n bar L length at imaging lens focal plane place, being equivalent to be spliced into a length of wearing the rail direction is the long narrow slit of n*L, is the imaging lens of f for focal length, what form 2arctan (n*L/2f) wears the rail visual field.If the space of the planar array detector behind every narrow slit dimension pixel is m, then form and wear the instantaneous field of view that the rail direction is about 2arctan (L/2f)/m, this instantaneous field of view is as the theoretical resolution of wearing the rail direction, and true resolution general and instrument is proportional, is commonly used to characterize the resolution characteristic of instrument.As can be seen, when L and m were constant, different n, f combination can constitute different imaging viewing fields and imaging resolution.
5. optical axis no longer is a coaxial relation between imaging mirror optical axis and the follow-up optics of each slit, but is parallel relation mutually.
6. be the placement space that guarantees the follow-up device of each narrow slit, the catoptron of placing appropriate format between imaging lens and focal plane thereof plays the light path effect of turning back.
